(b) Write an integral representing the total distance traveled for \(t \geq 0\) (c) Do you think the car goes a finite distance for \(t \geq 0\) ? If so, estimate that distance.

Problem 45

An island has a carrying capacity of 1 million rabbits. (That is, no more than 1 million rabbits can be supported by the island.) The rabbit population is two at time \(t=1\) day and grows at a rate of \(r(t)\) thousand rabbits/day until the carrying capacity is reached. For each of the following formulas for \(r(t)\), is the carrying capacity ever reached? Explain your answer. (a) \(r(t)=1 / t^{2}\) (b) \(r(t)=t\) (c) \(r(t)=1 / \sqrt{t}\)

Problem 46

(a) Between 1995 and 2005, ACME Widgets sold widgets at a continuous rate of \(R=R_{0} e^{0.15 t}\) widgets per year, where \(t\) is time in years since January 1 . 1995\. Suppose they were selling widgets at a rate of 1000 per year on January 1, 1995. How many widgets did they sell between 1995 and 2005 ? How many did they sell if the rate on January 1,1995 was \(150,000,000\) widgets per year? (b) In the first case (1000 widgets per year on January 1,1995 ), how long did it take for half the widgets in the ten-year period to be sold? In the second case \((150,000,000\) widgets per year on January 1,1995 ), when had half the widgets in the ten-year period been sold? (c) In 2005, ACME advertised that half the widgets it had sold in the previous ten years were still in use. Based on your answer to part (b), how long must a widget last in order to justify this claim?
